well the best I ever ran was a 14:40 at 210 pounds. Now Im around 230 and can run around 16 minutes but I can also run a steady 9 min pace for 4+ miles. Im trying to get down to around 200 so I can try and run in the 13's. I dont have a distance runners build, but Im trying to get my run time down.

I think that if an average person can run it in less than 16 mins, that is alright. Less than 15 mins is pretty good though. I weigh 230 and stay in good enough cardio shape to run less than an 8 min mile for 5ks. Either way...running sucks!!!

Whne I played ball the magic number was 6 minutes for a mile. I never had to run it. I was never into running. My forte was jogging around the bases after I hit a 400' homerun. I did though used to follow the runner down to first to back up the throw. So I was not slow. I even stole a base or two. But my running was better known for falling twice during a home run trot.
